A member asked:

Can nicorette (nicotine gum) gum and/or energy drinks cause false heart attack symptoms? second. is it dangerous to have low blood pressure?

Palpitation: Nicotine and caffeine can cause the heart to race and skip - not exactly heart attack symptoms but may be upsetting nonetheless. Low blood pressure, if you're otherwise healthy, is considered a sign of good health.

Any stimulant : Like ones you've mentioned can increase palpitations or extra, early heart beats. Low blood pressure is only a concern if you have symptoms.
